Les' Hot Toys P2 PREDATOR ELDER Redo/Repaint

[Stendec]

beautiful work.

He looks fantastic Les! I wish My Predators would look as good as yours.

Used that same technique on the quills with my AVP Elder, works quite nicely and the quills are in there for good if done properly. Good idea with the toothpick, I had to use my hobby drill bit to reopen the holes I already drilled on mine after a day's break.

So, where did you get the extra quills from?

Thanks guys.
I had about twelve unused quills from my AVP elder. Kept them in case any were lost. So be it! If he loses any, they are gone now!
Good lesson, HANG ON TO EXTRA QUILLS!

I've got a little Zip Lock bag with about a dozen extra quills (and quills that fell off). Now I know what to do with them!

Why must you ruin my figures? I just get mine in the mail last night and put together what I think is a Masterpiece (no pun intended). Now I look at your pics and mine looks like crap!!

 

[automaton]

unbelievable craftsmanship... i am in awe.

 

[leatherneck]

Les, that is really beautiful. Your work continues to amaze me. There is a ton of talent on this board.

Holy Eldermooooly Les!!! Looks like you pulled this Elder pred right out of the movie!! Totally twisted sick work bro!!! I love it!! Perfection as always!! :chew

MORE TO COME...

With all the enthusiasm you've expressed for this figure since it was first announced, together with your love of the original character and the truly amazing job you did on the AvP Elder, I figured you'd probably go above and beyond your usual standard of excellence with this Elder, and give him something extra-special, but I didn't expect you to give him a soul!

Words fail to accurately describe the impression I had when I first laid eyes on this pic. As a matter of fact, if it weren't for that incongruous figure stand spoiling the effect, I would've believed this was a production photo of Kevin Peter Hall on set during filming that you just stuck in there for comparison. It looked that real. This may be as fitting a tribute to Kevin Peter Hall as there has ever been. My hat's off to you for this amazing masterpiece Elder, bro.

Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with your fellow Pred freaks here. Really looking forward to that FML special feature video presentation!

Damn Les man you went all out on this thing man, it looks totally awesome!

 

[Dante]

Hi Les, did you do any extra work on the eye's by any chance they give the figure "life"

 

[Shai]

What a f'n great repaint...the best Elder Predator rendition ever !!!!

 

[Jamal]

Les should be working for HT in my opinion!

 

[Bardoon]

Was there any doubt of the Figuremaster sharpening up the Pred2 Elder?

Fantastic work again!

 

[King Darkness]

your work on these is second to none now Les!!!!!!

 

[thundergod]

It must be said Les , that is the best figure I have EVER seen in 1/6 scale . You truly take this stuff to a different level .

 

[Les Walker]

Wow guys. Seriously. I am humbled. Thanks so much.

Just so you all know, I posted this guy on my own site today, and dedicated it to the memory of Kevin Peter Hall.

 

[Jamal]

You are truly and artist with vision and skill man, i wouldnt have anyone paint my figures except you or DA

 

[Sachiel]

I'd be scared to have that in my room. It's that real looking.

But that doesn't mean I wouldn't want it.

 

[drunk_leprechaun]

Les could you please post a close up pic of the sheath you made and a little "how to"?

I like how you dedicate him to Kevin Peter Hall. I was just thinking about him as they recently reran the "Night Court" episode he did. People so often forget about the acting jobs done by the men-in-the-suits and only remember the characters they bring to life. But would Frankenstein's monster be a culteral icon today if he wasn't played by Boris Karloff?
